Midwives are working on the front lines in developing countries to provide crucial patient-centered care to women and their families during childbirth and support families during pregnancy and after delivery. But midwives often face challenges, including limited professional training opportunities and a lack of recognition of their roles within the community.
With the right education and support, midwives are key to tackling the root causes of poverty and gender inequality. That’s why Loveluck Mwasha (Aga Khan University) and Alix Bacon are passionate about strengthening local health systems, institutions, and professional capacities.
The Alumni Office regrets to announce that that this event, scheduled for Thursday, October 25, 2018, has been cancelled due to disrupted travels plans of the speaker.
